| [1]And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, |
[1]And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, |
| [2]Speak unto the children of Israel, and take of every one of them a rod according to the house of their fathers, of all their princes according to the house of their fathers twelve rods: write thou every man's name upon his rod. |
[2]Speak to the children of Israel, and take rods of them, according to the houses of their families, a rod from all their princes, according to the houses of their families, twelve rods, and write the name of each on his rod. |
| [3]And thou shalt write Aaron's name upon the rod of Levi: for one rod shall be for the head of the house of their fathers. |
[3]And write the name of Aaron on the rod of Levi; for it is one rod for each: they shall give them according to the tribe of the house of their families. |
| [4]And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the congregation before the testimony, where I will meet with you. |
[4]And thou shalt put them in the tabernacle of witness, before the testimony, where I will be made known to thee. |
| [5]And it shall come to pass, that the man's rod, whom I shall choose, shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, whereby they murmur against you. |
[5]And it shall be, the man whom I shall choose, his rod shall blossom; and I will remove from me the murmuring of the children of Israel, which they murmur against you. |
| [6]And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, and every one of their princes gave him a rod apiece, for each prince one, according to their fathers' houses, even twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron was among their rods. |
[6]And Moses spoke to the children of Israel, and all their chiefs gave him a rod each, for one chief a rod, according to the house of their families, twelve rods; and the rod of Aaron was in the midst of the rods. |
| [7]And Moses laid up the rods before the LORD in the tabernacle of witness. |
[7]And Moses laid up the rods before the Lord in the tabernacle of witness. |
| [8]And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went into the tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds. |
[8]And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi blossomed, and put forth a bud, and bloomed blossoms and produced almonds. |
| [9]And Moses brought out all the rods from before the LORD unto all the children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod. |
[9]And Moses brought forth all the rods from before the Lord to all the sons of Israel; and they looked, and each one took his rod. |
| [10]And the LORD said unto Moses, Bring Aaron's rod again before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; and thou shalt quite take away their murmurings from me, that they die not. |
[10]And the Lord said to Moses, Lay up the rod of Aaron before the testimonies to be kept as a sign for the children of the disobedient; and let their murmuring cease from me, and they shall not die. |
| [11]And Moses did so: as the LORD commanded him, so did he. |
[11]And Moses and Aaron did as the Lord commanded Moses, so did they. |
| [12]And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, saying, Behold, we die, we perish, we all perish. |
[12]And the children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, Behold, we are cut off, we are destroyed, we are consumed. |
| [13]Whosoever cometh any thing near unto the tabernacle of the LORD shall die: shall we be consumed with dying? |
[13]Every one that touches the tabernacle of the Lord, dies: shall we die utterly? |
